Plugged it into a linux laptop, made sure I had gpsd installed, and then checked with gpsmon. It quickly fixed to a few satellites and the location was correct.

The original one that I bought is still working and works every time with no issues. I just bought this second one to carry as a backup as the first one is now 5 years old. My only comment that is negative is that this unit should have a symbol on the bottom that indicates that there is a magnet inside. I understand why some would want a magnet if they are using this for an non-aviation purpose but if you are using this with a stratux or as a GPS for your tablet, be warned, there is a magnet in the bottom of it and needs to be removed. If you put this on your glareshield, it has a very strong potential to alter your magetic compass readings.... the magetic compass is your baseline compass indicator and you should avoid putting any magnets even close to it. The magnet is easy to remove. Peel up the label and it pops right out.

Works with openCPN. Not very intuitive to use if you're not tech savy. I had to fumble a while online and watch video to understand how to set it up. No explanation come with it.

I bought this to use on a Linux NTP server as a local GPS time source. It works perfectly, no special drivers required, just plug in and it works on a modern kernel. Just be aware that there is no PPS output. Generally this is hard to find on USB connected GPS units, so not a huge surprise. Time is still very accurate (compared to another system with a PPS), extremely good enough for any non-scentitic use like managing home or small business network time.
